Databases With your P-touch Editor, you can create useful databases to help you collect, organize and retrieve information. A P-touch Editor database document is made up of a table, divided into records. Each record consists of a number of fields, each containing text data. When a field is created, it is given a format which determines the type of data that the field can contain. The records are the rows of the table, and the fields are the columns. The field names appear at the top of each column.
Creating a database The following are the basic steps for creating a database. 1. Create a new database document and a new table. 2. Define the field names and their formats. 3. Create records and input the record data. Note: Files saved in the .mdb Microsoft® Access 97 format can be opened in P-touch Editor Ver. 3.1. However, files created in Microsoft® Access versions other than 97 are incompatible with P-touch Editor Ver. 3.1.
2. In the list box below the "Save in:" edit box, select the folder where you wish to save the table. 3. In the "File name:" edit box, type in the name that you wish to give the new table. 4. Click NEXT to display the Define Fields dialog box.
2. Define the field names and their formats. A database is defined by the fields that make up its records. 1. In the Define Fields dialog box, click to display the Add a Field dialog box. 2.
